Neko Mulally: Testing With FOX in Lousa, Portugal
2
After the TN National, we flew to Europe for the World Cup that was canceled. So we only ended up being there for 1 day. I got some great testing in for the rest of the season with the Fox team and we got to catch up on some movie watching.
Currently testing O-chain thanks to a buddy - was sceptical at first, plus my bike doesn't really have much kickback. The device is surprisingly noticeable, and it does improve suspension action and grip in the corners and remove chatter as Neko says. Testing without it again, suspension did feel a little spikier, and the ride felt possibly more direct / efficient but at cost of grip/comfort. Its expensive and adds weight and maintenance. For high pedal kickback bikes I'd recommend it... This may sound odd, but it makes riding feel more fun - not sure how??
Price/weight needs to be reduced for more people to consider it.
